I worked on a variety of writing projects today. Tonight I finally got around to getting re-acquainted with the WIP I was working on this summer. I didn't do any writing on that - I just wanted to get up to speed with the last section I was revising. So I have a goal for tomorrow to finalize one scene and get the next one re-written.

As usual, my goal is to write for an hour each day.

Fun fact: I wrote a story for a Halloween challenge, and kept track of my time. Because I have been writing more these past few months, I hoped I'd improve on how long it takes me to write a story. But nope. From the first idea-gathering and random note writing to the finished product, it still comes up to one hour per 100 words:)

Good luck on the goal.

Thanks! So far, so good. (heh, two days in...)

lol A start is a start.

A drabble an hour sounds good to me.

I think I should follow your lead and set aside an hour each day this month.

Oh, that's a cool way to look at it, it's a Drabble a Day!

Last pico I think was the first time I wrote every day. Whether it was a lot of new words or a lot of editing, or some days finger twiddling, I did write every day, and made some decent (for me) progress.

Good luck with your writing!

Excellent! I have some WIPs I need to do that with as well. Good luck on your goal!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I really want to finally get that WIP done:) Maybe this time!

The trick is to be ruthless with the muse. Just ignore her whining and do as you've planned, and she'll give in. Eventually...

Hee, I have stopped inviting that old hag to my writing sessions:D

Nicely done on that story, too. It was time well invested. Hey, have you heard anything about Down the Chimney?

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Thank you:) I'm glad you enjoyed it. Writing spooky stories is fun!

Yup I asked about it. I sent you a note right before this, so you should have it now.

Frankly, I look at that word count and it looks like speeding to me :D I think we all just have our own way of working, I'm not sure to what extent it's possible to change those habits.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, it's speed-writing! *pats self on back* Thank you for lowering the bar to something that matches reality. That makes so much sense:)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

It does sound like that it your comfortable speed, so that's good.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I always wish I'd get more done but yup, I guess it's the going rate:)
